so MJ or Kareem dont have a greater place in history without question than Tim Duncan?

where is the bull detector when we need him?

Those I can give you. Kobe not.

No he is not, he maybe more "willing" but better that line alone proves how little you know about ball. in fact Duncan was a poor passer his first few years but improved as he matured but he aint ever been "better" at passing ..

Duncan is a great passer for a bigmen, if you don't know that you don't know about basketball. Kobe is an average passer for a guard.

It's a fact the NBA rigged the '02 WCF's, so Kobe has only 4 rings, Webber / Bibby / Divac most probably or Kidd / K-Mart / Jefferson would have that one. The Lakers must be stripped of that ship'.

Kobe connected Bibby so savagely, he almost stated crying. No call was made, it deserved an immediate expulsion and 2 games suspension. Bibby was clutch and the Lakers had no answer for him.

The '00 WCF's were also too strange (game 7, 4Q), but there is still no evidence it was rigged.

For '00 and '01 (also for '02) Kobe wasn't the best Lakers player. So he simply can't compare with Duncan, who was the best Spurs player for all 4 Spurs ship's.

Arguments could be made about Shaq being better than Duncan, he was a terrific player in his prime. He never had a bad game in the playoffs, he was very similar in that aspect to MJ, but Shaq won less than Duncan if the '02 rigged ship' isn't counted and he wasn't the Heat best player in '06.

Finally, Duncan won an extra MVP award over both Shaq and Kobe.

Kool was boss hogging wiggas in this thread

[BD24]

Please explain how he is not?

Also, don't forget the fact that Timmy's career is very close to being over. Kobe still has several years of very high levels of production left in him.

Holy Thanks for the bump Kool, glad we could find this gem.
